Ethics

Lockheed Martin’s success depends on our commitment to integrity. Our core values – Do What’s Right, Respect Others and Perform with Excellence – are fundamental to who we are and what we do. At Lockheed Martin, we believe that doing what’s right is more than just obeying laws and regulations. It’s holding ourselves to a higher standard, even when the law may not require us to do so. We refuse to allow our integrity to be compromised by our desire to succeed, regardless of the circumstances of our business.

Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, Setting the Standard, outlines our high expectations for employees and others who act on behalf of our company and provides the foundation for our award-winning Ethics program. We require all employees, consultants, contract laborers and Board members to agree to abide by our Code of Conduct.

We help them understand and mitigate the legal and regulatory risks they may face by providing interactive Business Conduct Compliance Training courses. And we use our annual leader-led Ethics Awareness Training to prepare employees to recognize and respond to situations that require ethical decision making.

We also communicate with employees year-round on key ethics and compliance topics, including but certainly not limited to Corruption and Human Trafficking. Our episodic Integrity Minute series is one of the primary communications tools we use to keep Ethics top of mind.

When employees face ethical dilemmas in their workplace, they are encouraged to use the Voicing Our Values techniques - Ask Questions, Obtain Data, Talk to Others, and Reframe the Issue. If unable to resolve the conflict using these techniques, or in the event of a compliance breach, employees should report any possible violations to their manager, Human Resources Business Partner, Legal, Security, Internal Audit, EESH or Ethics.
